"Why can't hot guys just keep their mouths closed? They always have to ruin the illusion of perfection by spouting utter nonsense." Sixteen year old Willow Diaz has just moved back to England, after having spent the last five years living in the glorious heat of Barcelona. Now, sun loungers are being replaced with brollies and Willow just isn't here for it. Willow must now learn to navigate her new life in England. A life filled with drama, boys and secrets. One of the most difficult aspects of her new life is named Wesley O'Conner. He blows hot and cold and she's never sure which Wesley she'll get. However, he's breathtakingly handsome and when he blows hot... As she become tangled in lies and deceptions, the possibility of her and Wesley ever finding a middle ground - where they don't want to kill each other every other second - begins to looks more and more unrealistic.
